Ralph F. Welz

On Wednesday, November 17th, 2021, the Lord called Ralph Welz home with his loved ones by his side. This bigger than life, loving, caring and wonderful man left a permanent mark etched on our hearts and will be supremely missed by his wife Pamela and his children Trina (Alian), Jackie, Tracy (Wes), Jolene (Eliot), Kristy (Ric), Alex (Katie). Family was the pivotal essence of Ralphs' life. He was proud and honored to be father and grandfather to our large family. He has been a major presence in the lives of his children and grandchildren. He is a proud grandfather to Kyler, Taylor, Matthew, Hannah, Alexa, Sarah, Reilly, Nathan and Lucy. Born in Germany, and immigrating to the United States in 1958, Ralph spent his life as a hardworking, dedicated, faithful and loving man. He had a long-standing relationship with God and was very blessed with his faith to his dying breath. He will be sadly missed by his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Ralph will be forever remembered for his beautiful smile, gentle eyes, caring heart, loving embrace and unconditional love. Although our hearts are heavy, we will celebrate his life and find comfort that he is in heaven watching over us. A Memorial Service will be celebrated at Woodmen Valley Stone Chapel, 290 E. Woodmen Rd. Colorado Springs, CO 80919, on December 10 th, at 2 p.m. Reception to follow in lower Stone Chapel.
